Philadelphia Eagles NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

In an upside-down world, Howie Roseman has bypassed the trenches in the first round in back-to-back drafts with Quinyon Mitchell and Jihaad Campbell. Both were great picks, but Roseman goes back to the trenches here. With Abdul Carter off to the NFL, Dennis-Sutton will be the next man up for the Nittany Lions and closed his 2024 campaign strong. Dennis-Sutton racked up 4.5 sacks, six tackles for loss and an interception in three College Football Playoff games.

Penn State does not sign defenders with a low athletic floor. Dennis-Sutton has the ceiling to reach this point and the Eagles would be more than obliged to take him in the first round given their track record addressing the offensive and defensive lines early.

The Eagles have broken some of their draft trends recently. In 2024, they drafted a corner in Round 1 (Quinyon Mitchell) for the first time since 2002. This year, they drafted an off-ball linebacker in Round 1 (Jihaad Campbell) for the first time since 1979. Let's keep that going with Stowers, who would be their first Round 1 tight end since 1988. Stowers broke out last season, catching 49 passes for 638 yards and 5 touchdowns. His ability to create after the catch is special, as his 8.1-yard post-catch average was eighth best among FBS tight ends. He could eventually replace Dallas Goedert.

Barber (6-6, 314 pounds) has held down the left tackle spot at Florida for the last two seasons and is now slated to protect the blind side of potential future first-round quarterback DJ Lagway. Barber boasts ideal length and heft to become a multi-year starter in The League.

The reigning champs seem unlikely to bring back Jahan Dotson, and A.J. Brown's not getting any younger. Boston has fantastic size on the outside (6' 4", 209 pounds) and is primed for a big campaign playing for a head coach who also happens to be GM Howie Roseman's college roommate.

Ozzy Trapilo, who was drafted in the second round over the weekend, locked down right tackle for Boston College while Bowry handled left tackle duties. Bowry's run blocking needs to improve, but his efficiency patterns in pass pro drew scouts' eyes.

Davis is well-traveled, beginning his college career at Contra Costa Junior College, then earning all-conference honors the next two seasons at New Mexico and again versus Big Ten competition in his first season at Illinois. Davis plays with good knee bend for a big man, shuffling well laterally, but I like him better at right tackle than left against NFL competition. He's tough and powerful, projecting nicely as a downhill road grader.

Is this a luxury for a team that already has A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in the fold? Sure. But with the Eagles set to decline Jahan Dotson's third-year option, per multiple reports, Williams can round out the receiving corps as a tertiary threat.
